Page publicly came out of the closet in mid-February through an incredible and compelling speech at The Human Rights Campaign's Time To Thrive conference. At the time, the actress told the crowd, "I’m here today because I am gay... and because maybe I can make a difference. To help others have an easier and more hopeful time. Regardless, for me, I feel a personal obligation and a social responsibility."

This summer, Page will reprise her role as the mutant Kitty Pryde in the next installment of the popular "X-Men" franchise, "X-Men: Days Of Future Past."

The "Silence of the Lambs" star ended years of rampant media speculation when she casually came out of the closet while accepting her Cecil B. Demille award at the 2013 Golden Globes.
"I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago, back in the Stone Age," she said in the speech. "In those very quaint days when a fragile young girl would open up to trusted friends, and family, coworkers and then gradually, proudly, to everyone who knew her."
